1. Information


In today’s world information is the most vital ingredient of survival. This is why they are always making it readily available, easily digestible and via the quickest means of exchange. More improvement on information exchange is being done every passing day.

Preparation is one of the best practices you could ever undertake for any project in life and one of the ways of being prepared is to have the right information. Information is the road map to your success. A road map assures you of reaching your destination. In preparation you know what is expected of you for the achievement of your specific goal. You set your timing of the undertaking. You try to see and weigh the challenges ahead. In construction this is called the blueprint. In this case as we are working towards your success together, we will make the blueprint as I direct you step by step on how to build your success.

The accomplishment of your goal is largely dependent on the information you have concerning it. The more you know about your goal, the higher the chances you have of accomplishing it and in the most desirable way.

Gather as much information as you can from all the available sources. Choose information that is of help to you and keep. It is advisable to have information to be acted on listed down in point form. We will do this with you in every chapter of this scheme. In other words, I will help you set your answers for your questions concerning your success. I will take you step by step towards your chosen goal. If you follow through with full commitment I assure you that your success is guaranteed. You have to be committed to your dream however small or big in order to achieve it. You have to be personally involved in your own success.

How much you know about a specific goal determines quite a lot concerning how it’s accomplished. That is to say it will affect the time taken, the quality and the ease of achieving it.

In this information age, you can’t merely start out aimlessly and hope to make it securely to your destination and more so in good time if you are to beat the ever increasing competition. You have to be prepared adequately beforehand. However it is good to point out that information is a continual process. This means that you will continue to gather more information even after beginning on your course to keep with the pace of this ever-changing world. This is especially so on a long-term goal.

Imagine this scenario………..

You are in an airbus carrying around 700 passengers. You leave the airport destined to fly to another one on the other side of the globe. Fifteen minutes into the flight and every other instrument on data and communication goes blank. You don’t know your height from the ground, no distance from any airport, neither in which direction you are heading in. Let’s say the engines are the latest in technology, working perfectly well and the fuel tanks are full to capacity. But that does not really matter in this case. What would be the fate of the plane and everyone on board? Your guess is as good as mine. This clearly demonstrates the worth of information on your goal.

At this point, I would like to mention that most of the things I have accomplished in life were started from very small bits of information. They were just passing hints sometimes from a careless talker. I gathered together those hints, acted on them and accomplished what I wanted. For example, I worked in one prestigious organization and got kicked out after six months for no apparent reason. After about two years of fighting to get back, I finally did. This  time round careful to check the details to maintain my position I got the hint that in this particular organization, your staying largely depended on your relationship with the cleaners not necessarily with the bosses as anybody would think. From then on I got in good terms with the grounds men. This got me working there for seven good years only leaving at my pleasure with alot of goodwill.

There are several ways of gathering information to be acted on. One of them is reading. This can be from books, magazines e.t.c. You have to read a lot of available material concerning your chosen goal to be well prepared. Try to find the finer details concerning it. In some instances depending on your goal in mind you have to read through some history.

Not every goal is dependent on written information though. There are those that you just use a simpler mode of gathering information-ASK. Asking is one of the easiest ways to get what you want in life. It is a sad affair about life that very many people don’t have what they want simply because they have never asked. Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean that your next-door neighbor doesn’t. You don’t expect him to go shouting everywhere about everything he knows. If only you took your time and used this very valuable and effective mode of collecting information, you would be more informed than you currently are and better placed to act on whatever you know in order to achieve your goal.

You can only benefit from asking by being a listener. Listen to the answers given. Be a good listener, able to pick and keep the very vital ingredients necessary for your success. Listen also to the radio, the TV and also buy tapes and cds relevant to your goal if need be. Practice good listening habits. The reason many people don’t get much from listening is because they talk more than they listen. That is not in the best order. I always say that the very reason we have one mouth and two ears is in order for us to listen to more than we talk.

As we list down means of collecting information, let us not forget one more source that is of very big importance in today’s world. This is the internet. Today you are able to access almost any information on anything within a fraction of a second just by the click of a mouse. When we consider several issues, we come to see that in the near future this will be the most widely used source of information. It is just becoming limitless.

In regard to this project, once you have the right information concerning your chosen goal, put it in point form here below as directed. As an outline the information can include details like what is your cost, time to take, where to find what e.t.c.
